Hollow and Semi-Hollow guitars thread

[quyet]

since all the archtop guys are congregating here - anyone have a spare rosewood or ebony bridge I could buy?

Some lovely instruments here chaps. I'm not sure why the hollow thing is so attractive to me but I'm a big fan, even of the more chambered type instruments such as my Rick and Maton. I've always wanted a full hollow and so one day I intend to buy and then butcher one of these:



I'll install a bridge pickup, install some type of fixed bridge and in the perfect world, bind the fretboard.

How about a Loar LH-319 ?

Have posted this on another thread before, but this is a nasty-ass hollowbody tone that I'd listen to all day.

Base, saddle or both?

Semi-hollow bodies are also a guitar of choice of the Wiggles.

One of the darkest jokes shared on the forum. Nice work.

You are going to have to provide a pic on this, I have no idea what type of bridge you are talking about, never seen a plastic archtop bridge. I have rosewood ones and a Grestch type space saver somewhere and different bases and tops/saddles.

Jay, your collection is amazing. Just curious, what is it about the SA's that got you into them?

We all have our idiosyncrasies I suppose

It all started long, long ago when I bought an SA-60 semi hollow on TM, attracted by the original Yamaha '335 styling'. Quite liked it. When an SA-30 came up on TM a bit later that had been in or very close to a fire, I bought it as a project. Turned out to be a very big project requiring the back to come off, etc. Anyway, I really liked how solidly it was constructed and the Japanese workmanship applied. No shortcuts taken even on the inside. Got intrigued why Yamaha did not bother just making a 335 copy but designed the whole thing from scratch instead. Even the pickups, which were in those days very unusual. Once you read up on it, there 's a whole cult following on them

Anyway, some like strats, some like LPs, some Teles, I like the Superaxes.

I am almost spent...

Ibanez full hollow body from 1976 with Super 70 pickups. Have a listen to them below.
